FromSoftware’s upcoming mecha game finally shows its true colors, and fans are excited.
If you want the perfect example of the divide between so-called mainstream (or «casual») gamers and the more «hardcore» gamers, look no further than the reaction to the announcement of Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubiconat the Game Awards last year. Armored Core is a game franchise deeply beloved by hardcore gamers, but basically unknown outside of that audience. The sixth game now has a release date with pre-orders available on Steam.A hovering Core rains shells on hapless MTs.
This news comes along with a new trailer for the game, which we’ll embed below. The trailer is three minutes of in-engine footage, and most of it looks like gameplay to us. Admittedly, the visuals aren’t blowing us away, but it’s important to remember that this is a cross-generation game. That means it was probably developed primarily targeting the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Furthermore, like past Armored Core games, it seems to target 60 FPS, meaning that the developers likely had to make considerable concessions to hit that target on last-gen hardware.
